ADDISON JO THOMAS

A Marketing professor at Providence College revolves her class around the importance of building your "eulogy you". In other words, she prioritizes building your personal brand before a list of impressive work. I am fortunate to have had some awesome work experiences in different industries and I have collaborated on several projects that helped me grow professionally. However, I also take pride in my personal brand and the many ways in which I hope to serve as an asset to a team. 

 

How would I define my personal brand? My mission in everything I do is to bring people together despite their differences. I value loyalty, dependability, open-mindedness, and honesty both in and outside of the workplace. Luckily, I found a career path where I can continue to bring that mission to life. 

​

I wanted to combine this mission of bringing people together, with my passion for working with small to medium sized business. I have a background working with SaaS, particularly marketing SaaS products and similar tools to customers. I spent three summers interning at Bryx Inc., a software company on a mission to help first responders to their job faster, smoother, and smarter through mobile app alerting and station alerting. Towards the end of my college career, I joined UpperCampus as a Partnerships Associate. UpperCampus is a career learning and success platform designed to help students uncover their dream career path. As a Partnerships Associate, I met with High Schools and Universities across the nation to demo our product and show them how we could help students navigate an often nerve-wracking and stressful journey. 

​

Through these experiences, I learned a very important lesson and that is that sales comes naturally when you work for a company that values the growth and education of its employees and has a mission you are passionate about. Long story short, that is how I landed at HubSpot - a company that puts the mission of growing small to medium sized businesses at the forefront of everything they do. I am honored and grateful that I am kicking off my career in sales at a company that is truly invested in my education and success. As a Growth Specialist, I look forward to building the connection between small to medium sized businesses and the HubSpot tools.
